Open Question: I’ve got ammenorrhea……. No period.?

Hey girls. I haven’t had my period since feb. It’s always been irregular. I’m not worried about not having my period…I actually Love it, cause I’m just not cut out for the endless blood flow for 6 days.
Well, I’m not on birth control, overactive, under/overweight(I’m exactly on the 50th percentile), super stressed, or anything, so the amenorrhea occurred naturally (as opposed to self-induced)
But my mom is taking me to the OB/GYN in 2 weeks find out exactly WHY I’m amenorrheic.
But if the amenorrhea is a genetic thing I guess I wanna know that If I don’t treat it (cause I’m starting to like the idea of no periods) will it have any horrible health effects on me (besides not being able to give birth)? I heard about osteoporosis, but I take in over-the-average ammount of calcium per day. I’m 17 btw, and have had 5 periods in my life(had 1 period when I was 12, 3 late last year, and 1 in feb.)

Open Question: What is more believable?

Posted on 02. Sep, 2010 by Yahoo! Answers: Search for.

God made all of us with a speck of magic along with a POOF and a BANG and here we are, just like that.
-or-
Matter and Anti-Matter being pushed around by gravity, something happened and BOOM the walls of the universe started expanding. The universe starting from a little point, and expanding at almost all times, sometime in the future though it may stop expanding and go back, destroying all things within about at least 50,000 years after.

A person above that is all-loving chooses if we go to heaven or go to hell and burn for eternity, by if we believed all the crap or not.
-or-
We will rest in a state of non-being which is directly eternal slumber.

We were exactly how we are now from the start
-or-
We started off as little bio-cells and started multiplying because that is what cells do, and changed over long periods of time.

Our planet will end from a greater being coming down to pick all the believers in him up into a peaceful place while all the others will rot on earth.
-or-
The sun will move axis and tilt more directly towards the earth, causing more longer periods of summer, daylight, and other things. The heat temperature will pick up and sometimes have ordinary decreases in the winter time. Soon after, the ice caps of Antarctica will melt and then the world will die of an unnecessary flood that was unexpected until the final hours of our remain.
Haha Kate, I love how you think those just came out of nowhere when God did too
